  • Plenty of bubble screens/slants were thrown to kearse. I remember watching him catch a pass on a flat route and break 3 tacklers for a TD against Syracuse. He also caught that slant and outran the defense against WSU 2010. That return was impressive the way he burst through the seam. Haven't seen a husky player do that in a long time.

    That 23 years ago. I think that would qualify under a "long time".

    I just don't understand why Kearse was never given a chance to return kicks especially since our return game was terrible in 2009 and 2010(the BYU game was a disaster).

    If you think that return was great........fuck.....he ran through the tackle of no one. Wasn't touched by one player. Had to make one cut from the hash to the numbers.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but when was the last time we had a punt return like that? A return that not only scored a TD but felt like the field was tilted and the Huskies were all running downhill and right through a bewildered opponent's coverage team?

    You fuckers would have been the first ones complaining the first time he fumbled a punt. I can just hear it. Why the fuck is Sark putting him back there to catch punts when he drops so many passes. Kearse isn't an open field make the defender miss type of player. He runs good routes and gets open. He always ran great corner, post and post/corner routes at UW. He wasn't a slant/bubble screen break tackles kind of threat. That's the kind of guy you want returning kicks. Unfortunately we haven't had many of those the past few years. Williams is the same type of WR/returner.

    Is Sark coaching to impress us or to win football games? Part of job is to realize that guys like Kearse have the talent to excel in areas that armchair quarterbacks wouldn't expect.

    The beauty is, if you're a good coach, these decisions generally turn out well. Unlike with Sark...

    "Todd Dybas ‏@Todd_Dybas 10m
    Asked Kearse if Steve Sarkisian ever brought up returning kicks to him, "No. I was on the front line blocking." Then, he laughed."

    Great way of judging talent there Your return games sucked, instead of using your big play WR to return kicks who proved today he obviously can you instead used him as a blocker on the front line.

    Once again great job Sark on recognizing your talent. Doogs will say he lacked bullets but like Ty he had the guys he just didn't know how to use them properly.

    I'm not a Sarkpologist, but generally the starting wr's don't return a ton of kicks. Maybe some do in college (I am terrible at remembering these things) but in the NFL it's rare.

    Remember though in 2009-2010 he had Chris Polk returning some kicks.

    Not to mention he still had Kearse out there but as a blocker.

    This is yet another example of Sark not knowing his players abilities.
